SCS/SB 830 - This act authorizes an adopted person over the age of 30 to obtain a copy of his or her original birth certificate and provides that such access shall be provided unless a written prohibition exists against the release of records. If the state registrar does not have the person's records, the registrar shall certify this within 30 days. The adopted person may then request such records from any circuit court, and the court shall provide copies of any such records in its possession within 60 days.
